A teenage rowing team was left in tears as officials took their gold medals from around their necks at last week’s Maadi Cup after a controversial disqualification. Hamilton Boys’ High School’s under-18 novice eight boat – mostly aged 13 and 14 - had won their final at the annual secondary schools rowing event at Lake Karapiro, which attracts over 2000 competitors and about 10,000 spectators over a week-long festival.

The school believes the boat may even have been sabotaged and have lodged an official appeal to Rowing New Zealand.
